BEEP WOO!!First off, let me say that I love this set! My wife surprised me during a rough week by leaving it wrapped in my office. I hadn't even realized that this was a set!
The build was incredible-- sure, it's a bit repetitive, but I found each side of the sphere to be varied enough to hold my interest. The small nuances in each side keep the overall build from becoming stagnant. I took my time over 2 days to put the little guy together, and he was such a blast! A good blend of technic and block pieces-- and the details are incredible!
What surprised me most was the play feature! A rotating plate on BB-8's stage-right side spins his head, while a single rubber band around the spinning mechanism makes the head bob forwards and backwards as it spins. The action adds a huge amount of fun to the final, assembled product. I find myself going back to swivel his head multiple times per day.
The display is an added bonus, too. I think it helps him look more "official"-- certainly, it keeps him from accidentally rolling anywhere!
I would recommend this for just about anyone, as long as you like the look of the set! The plates are held in with technic pins, and the spinning discs on each side are easy to reattach if they accidentally pull off. Overall, a fun build, a fun finished product, and a sturdy model!

MASTERPIECEI am truly surprised with this set! I love it! Some people think it is small, but I think it has the perfect price. Besides that, I think it's quite expensive, but I bought it in store for 70€. That is a reasonable price. I love the details of the eye, the sticker info, antennas, ...
I recommend it, sure! The move it makes with its head is so silly, I love it!

Tons of CharacterWas a bit hesitant on this purchase initially but of course ended up pulling the trigger. My initial concern was the potential smaller than expected size and a monotonous build based on the shape. While BB-8 is a bit smaller than he appears on the back of the box, the final result is still stunning. Further, the build was surprising fun and challenging due to the many small white pieces.
The big takeaway on this set is that it possesses a level of character not present in most sets. When you twist the side panel and the head moves he literally seems alive. The wobbly travel created by the use of the gears and rubber band create something very unique and incredibly close to the movie experience. The extending "thumbs up" torch is also a great touch although if I'm being super critical it would be great if the flame was a bit more vertical when extended as it is slightly angled when built.
Overall, i would recommend this purchase. I am surprised it isn't a bit larger and advertised as a UCS for $25 more but for what you pay this is a really great set that has awesome display and play value.

I got home and built it right away it took me about 4 hours he has some awesome features like moving his head and sticking his lighter thumb out. Very well worth the money.
